“After this year’s fantastic celebrations, we asked our audience who they’d like to see at next year’s festival and Arctic Monkeys came top of the poll, so we’re really pleased to be able to confirm them.

“When they take to the stage in Glasgow this week they’ll prove exactly why they’re one of the greatest live acts around and I’m sure we can look forward to another phenomenal set. We have many more fantastic acts in store which we’ll announce next year.”

George Kyle, head of sponsorship at Tennent’s, the long-time backers of the festival, said: “This year’s T in the Park was one of the best ever and I’m sure we have another wonderful weekend in store next July.”
